A chat on a strat based on Vat

The Aussies are back to defend their prize
With more young legs, but a little less wise.
The great McGrath, Gilly & Warne are out;
But look who they've hired to stop a rout.
Not Murali, not Mendis as one would think
But a selection inspired by many a drink.
His first name is Greg, and Chappel the last
And that's where he left us in the recent past.
Now I'm hoping like hell (have my fingers crossed),
That Greg will do it again, at Ricky Ponting's cost.
